Udon Thani will be Tiger Airways 6th destination in Thailand, as the airline also flies to Bangkok, Hatyai, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Krabi.

Travelers also use it as a transit point to visit the Laotian capital of Vientiane which is just an hour away by road. Tiger Airways is the only airline with direct scheduled flights between Singapore and Udon Thani. With Tiger Airways’ affordable low fares, we are confident that this new route will increase the commercial and tourism ties between Singapore and Thailand and is further testimony to the positive benefits of the Open Skies policy adopted by the two countries.”
